> My experience dealing with militant vegans is that there is no amount or type of evidence that would convince them that a diet that includes ANY amount of animal products is healthy.

You're missing the point here. They're not looking for reasons to think meat is healthy. You're vegan because you're against animal cruelty and harm that is done in the process to animals and our planet.

The diet aspect of it, yeah you can have bad habits in any diet, your health can decline just eating bad period. There are countless of cases of people's health decline that are not news anymore because it's very common. Hearth disease because of bad cholesterol?, well yeah it's not news we've been seeing that for ages so no gossip there. But what about a vegan person that died. Let's jump into conclusions and use this a reason to keep eating the things we like, because god forbid they take away our pleasures no matter who we hurt. This applies to both perspectives.

Most people are weak assholes and don't care about animal cruelty so long as they don't see it and they get their Big Mac.

The bigger problems, to them, of meat agriculture should be:

- climate change.

- pandemics: 1918, 2019, and more.

- antibiotic resistance.

- pollution: air, water, and soil.

- resource utilization.

- deforestation.
